The engineer aud tiremeii seeing a collision inevitable jumped off and est-aed uuhuri. The locomotive struck the first car with tremendous force, literally .curing it to atoms. The second car was also badly broken. This brought things up standing. But iu the fight the locomotive suffered badly.

ZanmM CoarWr. tT'The Statesman has been attempting to make a little capital, and a few voters in favor of the new con stitution among temperance men, by saying to them that they are playing tho hypocrite if they vote against the license system, and at the some time vote against the constitution. A member of that party answers this clap-trap idea very cloarly and satisfactorily in the Statesman of yesterday. We trust that no temperance man will he led to vote for the constitution for any such reason as is advanced by that paper. They may hud themselvos helping tho opponents of tho restriction to adopt the instrument, wliil6 they have voted against this, and' m the end, find the new constitution adopted, with the clause prohibiting license voted down. We presume no friend.dl temperance deiires such a result Let thurri took well at this subject, and be sure they are caught hi no trap. The following is the communication to the Statesman : For tbe Ohio Statesman. Id an editorial paragraph in the Statesman of yesterday you say : The temperanco men aro making a great stir to vote "no liuootte," at the adoption of the new constitution. They will rally all their nerve aud forces to the polla on Hint day, which wilt be intiny thousands." " Now what we wish to call attention to it this: Will they vote when tiiere (or the new constitution or against it? Will they vote against licuuse, and theu vute against tho constitution.?'', " Cau any honest man vote for the temperance clause in the constitution and then vote against tho constitution itself." " Let those concerned answer it." Taking tho above questions to be candidly put, I pro pose to give a candid answer. 1st. As hu honest Temperance man, I can neither vote ngtinst the anti license claim, nor let it go by default by refusiug lo vote at all on that question. So nt being " conscientiously" unit " honestly " opposed ihe license system, bv which special privileges are granted to some, to do that tor which others are punished as criminals, I must vote "Licknsi to sell intoxicating Litmus, No," whether I vote for or nguiust (he adoption of the new constitution. 2J. 1 hold the proposed restriction to be of such vital importance to the best interests of the people ul Onio that although I might have voted for the constitu tion hud tins clause Ueu in Her ted iu it by the Uunvon-lion, yet fear to do to now, lest the restriction shall he dtlnited, while ihe constitution is udopied and this vitm question " Jell to the Legislature, or in other words, lo ihe caprice of political partiet tot all future lime, llio ri-tunal ot Ihe Convention to insert this clitutte which was more numerously petitioned for than nay other should bu regarded by all consistent democrats loo us fatal to the tiew constitution however faultless iu other respects. Jd. Should llio " IMo Liceune clause receive a ma jority of votenand tho constitution receive a minority, the Temperance cauoo will lose nothing, but will gain ucn. ror, hrst, aiier such a vote by the whole peu e condemning the license xystem, no Legislature in Ohio will naxs another license luw.

Alth nigh I in i i;ht bo opposed to the new con stitution, even were this Temperance clatine incorporated in it, and would votencainsl it under utiv circumHtun- us, yet I mna, an a conscientious Temperance " man." surety iroit4 prefer that the constitution, if it must be adopted, should bo right ou ibis inmor'nnt question.

He said ihe low lands in this county are superior to much of tho meadow land near the river. SAW. Vol. i An Appeal to the new portions of Ohio. We have reud with much interest a lengthy and very able article in the Medina Whig, on the subject of the New Coustitulion. Two points are discussed the single district system, and ihe provisions which will ef fectually check internal improvements iu the new and unimproved portions uf the 8tate. After showing yery clearly that justice aud fair dealing, and a compliance with the sentiment of tho State, and the age required of them, the formation of single districts, the writer proceeds to discuss the second point. We wish this portion could be read by every voter in the State, and the mora especially, iu those portions of it, where works of internal improvement have not been commenced. If this class are contented thus to cut them selves off, aud voluntarily deprive themselves of the vast benefits which the older portions of the State en joy from these works, theu, we shall not complain. With them the question rests, and to them is the ap peal made. Lot every voter in the north-west, and in the eastern part' of the State, ask himself how far ho is interested in this question, and determine fully before hand, whether it is worth his while to deprive himself of tho benefits which mutt come, and that soon, if the present system of improvement, by Rail Road, Plank Road, &c, is pursued, for any advantages that cuu ac crue through any other part of the instrument. Wo trust the following closing remarks of the Whig will bn carefully read and considered : But let us turn our attention for a moment to auolh- or portion of tho State, the newly settled counties on its western borders. 1 he enterprising and Industrious laborer in Cuyahoga or Hwiiiliou bus accumulated, by dint of hard exertions and severe economy, his two or three hundred dollars. With this, his hard earned for tune, his little all. he starts with his young family, for ihe yet unbroken wilderness of Lucas county, whore with his limited means, he may purchase a farm, iusiii- red with ihe hope of enjoying Ihe products of his labor, uid of reposing, when old ae shall come upon him, beneath his own vine and tig tree. He selects as the n euo of his future labor!, hii 80 acre lot on the banks of the Tdliu river, pilches his log cabin, and then com mences tne process ul tittiue his laud lor cultivation. 'he heavy timber melts before his persevering strokes; he wood recede from his humble habitation, aud the lirst crop of corn and wheat is the reward of hi nidus- iry. But here a new difficulty presents itself. His nearest market is Maumee Cny or Toledo, some thirty or lorty miles distant, and his route lies through uuwurk-ed roads almost impassable by reason ot marshes, logs and bridgluss streams. The stnle in ihe meantime has commenced n system of internal improvement. The older counties aro the first to share the benefits of litis wise and liberal policy. The citizen of llumiltounnd Cuyahoga have nked the Legislature to loan thecn-d it of the State for the completion of works mat promise to be of vast utility to those portions of tho Ktute in particular in which they are tu bo located. I he debt is created, llio interest accruing thereon must bu paid, and our western settler is taxed lo enablo ihe State to meet the demand ol its creditor. The ui'liey must be raised for ibis purpose from the surplus product ol bis toil Hu thus drug to market, your alter year, what he can spare utter supplying the wants of bis family, and ob tains barely sufficient tu pay his tuxes and road expenses in the course of transportation. To this he submits without a murmur: enlarges gradilully tho area of his cultivated fields; fresh emigrants are arriving with like hope sand like enterprise. They finally accumulate sutliciriii capital lo unable them to bund a plunk road over which ihey may convey their wheat, oats and coru to market with greater facility, and without incurring expenses almost equal to the price of their produce. They apply to ihe Legislature, not for money, but for an act ul lncorMiraliou to enable them to accomplish, with their combined resources, what as individuals with their limited means, they could never achieve. They aro met by the honorable nnd dignified members from Hamilton with severe rebukes tor their temerity. They are denounced a " Monopolists," " Monied Aristocrats," Parasites upon the Body Politic," and are sent homo with the consoling intelligence of" a great contest at hand." The Democracy uf Old Hamilton, now lolling in the hip of luxury and wealth acquired by theback-woodsman's sinewy arm aud sweuiiug brow, through iho instrumentality of her extensive internal improvements, has resolved that no more corporations fehull be char tered; that the western pioneer idiull not possess the privilego of building for himself nnd hi neighbor a plank road over tho almost impassible sloughs lhat lie between his little farm nnd the only market tor the surplus product ul his till, because forsooth it might open 4i new channel ol commerce and atlm-i injiirioiisly tliu gigantic inouophe of " the Queen City." A war-cry against corporations is ruisrd by tho very men whose every hrealh is drawn from nu atmosphere redo i lent of corporate privileges; whose immense fortunes aid unbounded luxuries are derived from tho privileges and iiiiniuuiiies secured by special ads of incor-1 porntioh, and from tho twenty millions of dollar in-1 vested for their benefit by the Stale government through tho indulgence and liberality of their fellow citizens who now a-k in remuneration of their heueliceuce, the privilege .f ncuuirina similar benefits through their own exertions and enterprise. ouch aro iho men who nuso this "hue and cry' against corporations. Should we not exclaim with the old lrojan, " Timta Grains et ommt dona Jerentnt The peopleof Mediu county ask the privilegeol building, with their own means and exertions, a railroad hat shall connect them with the ureat thoroi avid aro terminating in C:ovelutid ; but they are met try a pra( visoii in Itie new constitution which declare lhat each individual sltickholdershall helnxtd uu thufullaiiiouut hi investment, nnd lhat the corporate property thus cumulated by ihe subscription of firriuers aim men f limited menus shall pay all ndiliiioiud tux over and Ijovo lhat paid by the several stockholders, ihus sub- lUo same properly to the burthen ot a, double taxation. But let us suppose notwithstanding this un- il provision, a company is organized for the comple tion of ihe proposed work. The road is completed aud iu successliil operation. But the Legislature, at tbe very next session under tho new constitution, repeals ihe law from which ihey derive their corporate privileges; die company lsdiibandtd and they hnveno n:;er the rilu to receive orohis Irom their newly erected road; the money iuvesied by individuals is a dal los. lint ties is not nil. 1 lie tanner ot Bruns wick or llarnsvillo who has paid in his thousand dol lars, for the purpose uf opening a more easy access to market for the surplus producisof his farm, is liable lo pay (ho creoitor of the company an additional thousand dollar, besides the thousand tie ha already paid.

For the Ohio State Journal, To the Friends or Temperance in Ohio. Are you fully aware of the great crisis that is just before you ? Have you forgotten that the Convention for revising the constitution of our State, after having, By two distinct and solemn votes, incorporated in thut instrument a provision prohibiting the Legislature from legalizing the traffic in intoxicating drinks, at lest, by a most disgraceful piece of trickery the damning details of which are yet to be made known to tbe people struck out that clause and directed that it should be submitted for a separate voteT If I were to judge from tho apparent apathy that prevails on this vital question, I should infer that the friends of this great cause are slumbering at their posts, while the enemy is assailing the out-posts of the citadel, and ready, on the first breach, to take possession of and demolish its strong holds. Be assured, that interests and results that no man can estimate are dependent on tbe issue now submitted. If the upholders and defenders of Ihe abominable liquor license system now prevail, one loud, long yell of triumph will be heard from thegrog-gery-keepcrs aud their faithful allies and confederates, tlmt will strike terror to the hearts of those bruve ad vocates nf ihe interests of humunity, who have so long and nobly done battle against tho monster. Let mo entreat you, as you value tho success of a measure which more concerns the true interests of the people of Ohio than any ever submitted to hor freemen, to rouse yourselves from your apathy ; and when the day of trial comes, present at the polls an urroy uf influence and numbers that shall settle forever the dislurbins question of "license or no license." That a areot ma jority of the voters of Ohioregurd the license system as grossly immoral in itself, and as the frequent source of evil, there can be no doubt. The writer of this article lairns to know something of the public sentiment of Ohio on this great subject. He hasclosely observed its progress for innny years past, and has witnessed with pleasure the rapid increase of opinion against both the principle and ihe policy of upholding and sanctioning by low the pernicious trallic in liquor. He knows thut the sentiment is now deeply sealed iu the minds of iho intelligent freemen of Ohio that there is no moro excuse or vindication for grunting to any man tbe exclu sive right to deal iu intoxicating drinks, than there would be to grant, by authority of law the right to keep a gambling house, or a brothel. If Ihe license system involves, us it cleaily does, a gross sanction of immorullty attended by tho greatest conceivable evils to community, U follows, unavoidably, that all true friends of human happiness and human progress must condemn it as unworthy of this enlightened age, and all unmitigated public curse. Or, if tiiere be any wil ling to maintain the converse of this proposition, and who believe there is' nothing wrong iu legalizing ihu traffic iu on article lhat bmtilies and destroys both soul aud body, to them 1 would say: why create, by law, an odious monopoly why it rant exthmve privileges to ufw to engage in (his IradoT Suroly, if it be an honest nnd praiseworthy occupation to deal in intoxicating drinks, it should be open to ull. And, in ibis view, the lows which confer this right on some, to the exclusion of others, violate the very spirit of our republican Institutions.But I do not design to enter upon an argument in re gard to this question. It is not argument, hut action that I would now invoke. Anil I would reiterate the iden, lhat now fs the time. If, at the trinl, which is to take place iu June, the friends of the temperance reformation are not at their posii, all will be lost, and the cause for which they have so nobly struggled will receive a blow in Ohio, from which it will never recov er. The defeat of the anti-license clause will be claim-1 d as an authoritative exprension uf public opinion ! agaiust tho clause, and against tho enactment by the j Legislature of any law repealing or modifying the laws w""-" "i,u , Miicuomng tne nquor traffic In a word, it will be aotal, and a must dis astrous defeat. Before I dismiss this subject, I beg leave to notice one P",,io. " bY "' professing, and perhupatrue friends of temperance. It is, that the anti- License law of the last session of our Legislature, supersede the n y nf lli pr.poed constitutional prohibition. Not so. It was one of the great objects of those who sought to tie up the hands of tbe Legislature, by a constitutional provisiou taking from that body the (tower to pass laws sanctioning the liquor iralfic, not only to settle the question, but to avoid its agitation hereafter, except iu the form of a proposition to amend the constitution by the ubolisbment of the restrictive clause. While this subject ia left free for the action of the Legislature, it will continue to be used as tho mere hobby of polit!cal demagogues, aud ran never be viewed as finally settled. This is illus- i rated by a reference to the law of last winter; the policy of which, I mny remark, is exceedingly doubt-lul. No sooner was it passed, than it was fiercely de- nounced by the entire liquor trafficking and liquor consuming portion of ihe State; and, no doubt, this array of opposiliou to It will be powerfully, if not sue- cesslully folt at the next October election. It is a pos sible, il not a probable result, that the next Legists- ture may repeal that law. unless in the meant i mo. il.e stitution if that instrument shall he adontrd the sub j,.ct will be an open one, nnd must continue to lie the fruitful source of agitation. The wri'or has sometimes been asked, what shall bo the course of tho so opposed to the new constitution, hut in favor of the anti-License clause f I reply that while they vote against (he instrument as a whole, ihey ought clearly to cast tlieir votes in favor of the sepa rate clause. It is true if the entire instrument shall ho rejected by the people, aud there shall be a majori- iiyiuiavnrui mis ciause u win not I here it y become nnrt nf tl.H nnn.lHiilinn ..t rW.i.. n ! - . 1 . . , , ,. .

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1851, New Union Party in Georgia. We have looked upon (bo formation of a new party to be called the Uuion party as chimerical. But wo see by the Southern patters that, tn Georgia, this is going ou much more harmoniously than we supposed it could. The two old parties nppear to meet on common ground, and, merging all former dillerence of opinion, unite onacommou platform of devotion to the constitution and the Union. Tho state of feeling at the South, where disunion is openly preached and very frequently openly pructicod, may make it expe dient to take this step. It cau, however, only be tol- eruted in a great crisis, when the times require a sacrifice of political differences in ordor to preserve the fundamental law uf the land. In the North, we think all attempts to establish a Union party, with no other base than a devotion to the Union of these States, will utterly fail. In the first p'ace, there is no respectable portion, even of tho free-soil party, that it willing to admit for a moment it is opposed to the Union. Some of them may perhaps ad vocnte opmtons,.and threaten to do things that are, practically, just as much disunion as are the measures of the South Carolina fire eaters. But many of them do not know it, and huvo never looked at the mntter in tbnt light. As to the Whia and Locofoco parties. they vie with each other in proclaiming nn attachment to that glorious Union tinder which we have lived and flourished so long. No issue can bo got up ou that score. Meeting with no opposition, or a very limited one, these two great parties will remain where- they are. But suppose a onion is formed and the members of the old parties unite on one platform, nnd that platform having one plank devotion to the Union; what would become of this now party so soon ns the question of tbe protection to American lubor would come up T What would this party do when the proposition to im prove Western Rivers aud Harbors would como up? What would they say and do about tbe sub-treasury. nnd the public lauds, and a specie currency, &c &c.1 Of course (his new union p-trty would be broken asunder in an instant. It would dissolve into ita ornnnul clement. Whigs would bo Whigs again, midL'-cofo-cus would bo Locofocos. Is there uny possible way lo avoid this? We can see rone. Hence, to our mind, the idea of a separate organization on lhat one idea, in the North, is just as chimerical as tho idea of doing any good wiih a third party anti-slavery organization. A we observed before, there may be a time when all parties and all patriots should rally nu common ground ; and this may be tbe enso ill Georgia and some of tho other Souiheru States now. But it has not yet become general, and wo trust in Providence it may nut bo. Library of lliiinoroii American Works. A.

The writer then said he would take the article to the Statesman, to which we made no objection. We neversaid or indicated, except by those remarks, any thing that could be constructed into a re- tusul. It is well enough to say, however, that no change in the practice has been made, and no s round for com plaint exists. P. 8.

The uiatter of tho must interest iu the London namtra is the account of the opening of the Great London Exhibition on the 1st iust. We copy the following from the European Times of May 3d: After severul days' excitement, during which the public curiosity ha been wound up to ihe highest pitch, the morning uf Thursday, the day fixed for the openiiif of the Great Exhibition of the industry of all nation, opened most Nupiciouidy. On the preceding day we Had ram and bud, with very cold weather, but the glorious 1st o May was uninterrupted by scarcely il cloud; and at inid-d.iy, when the Queen ascended the throne, the ell'ulg. iice uf ihe suu left uu other wish un-gratified.As !ir us the mortal arrangements depended upon man, ihey were perfect, ami 1 lejoice tu say lhat the day passed oil' w itliout a insle accident ihut 1 have fe aid of. 1 found, upon reaching the Piccadilly at nine in the morning, ft hue of cainuge which reached from ihe Exhihtiiou to the eastern end ol Long Acre, a good couple ol miles ; aud the same flung existed west, tiorih and south. Find in tins to be ihu cuse, I alighted and wulked into Ihde Paik, entering the commissioner's gate without the slightest inconvenience. Tho scene upon entering was beautiful in the extreme. Already every seat was occupied, but a member of Par liament, who was an exhibitor, contrived lo make a little coterie iu the 'Tunisian department, to which I was admitted, und I saw the wlnde inauguration sceue under the happiest point ot view. The company kept pouring in until the last moment t and nt 114 o'clock 1 gazed upon the wonders of ihe grand transept, and h ard the mighty orgau from the west end, Ihe tones walling their sounds ill rough the maze of British manufactures aud nruduciiou; while at th eastern extremity you saw the Am uncut Eagle prouuiy conspicuous over me uoiu inscription which marked the region of Ihe United Stules' productions long hues ot beuutilul women, wiih officers aud gentlemen fillins up the back ground, aud in eveiy way Ihe eye was luriied, some surprising natural or artificial object was to be seen J the tout ensemble was altogether most beautiful. Punctually at lit o'clock ihe Q jeen arrived ; her entree being marked by long and animated cheering. She seated herself on a chutr raised ou a platform, surmounted by a spacious elegant blue canopy adorned with feathers, wiih Prince Albert ou In r h it. They were accompauied by ihe Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal. The court circle was now completely formed, making atabuleau never to be forgot ton. Tile Queen looked remarkably well. She wore the Order of the Garter, a pink bro de dress, shot with g dd, aud ihu Prince looked calm ly nnd proudly happy. Ihe Dukool Wellington, who this day completed his eighty second year, had been there nearly two hours before, nnd the Commissioners and all the officials aud ludies of (he household surrounding the throne piesen-ted a scene of extraordinary splendour. The National Anthem was performed, and ihe music produced a uiot delightful effect in tlie glass buildiug. Prince Albert, with the Commissioners, preseuted himself beloro the Q'leeu, und read the report as described in the official programme. 1 could not hear ihe tones of the queen when she rend her reply, from the spot where I was placed, but (he fact is, any mortal voice is lost in the vast edifice. The Archbishop of Canterbury then delivered Lho prayer of iuuugeruiinn, which was followed by the Halleluiah Chorus uf Handel, under the directum of Sir Henry R. Bishop. Tbe effect of thia was most striking, und the voice ul tbe choristers were here in the fullest perfection. A procession was then formed of a most interesting character. The State Heralds preceding, Messrs. Pax-ton, Pox and Henderson, led the way. Then came all the official engaged iu constructing the budding; afterwards ihe foietgn acting commissioners; aud most singular wm it to see all the various costumes worn by hard headed, capable men from every quartor of the wurld.

ZanmM CoarWr. tT'The Statesman has been attempting to make a little capital, and a few voters in favor of the new con stitution among temperance men, by saying to them that they are playing tho hypocrite if they vote against the license system, and at the some time vote against the constitution. A member of that party answers this clap-trap idea very cloarly and satisfactorily in the Statesman of yesterday. We trust that no temperance man will he led to vote for the constitution for any such reason as is advanced by that paper. They may hud themselvos helping tho opponents of tho restriction to adopt the instrument, wliil6 they have voted against this, and' m the end, find the new constitution adopted, with the clause prohibiting license voted down. We presume no friend.dl temperance deiires such a result Let thurri took well at this subject, and be sure they are caught hi no trap. The following is the communication to the Statesman : For tbe Ohio Statesman. Id an editorial paragraph in the Statesman of yesterday you say : The temperanco men aro making a great stir to vote "no liuootte," at the adoption of the new constitution. They will rally all their nerve aud forces to the polla on Hint day, which wilt be intiny thousands."

Will they vote against licuuse, and theu vute against tho constitution.?'', " Cau any honest man vote for the temperance clause in the constitution and then vote against tho constitution itself." " Let those concerned answer it." Taking tho above questions to be candidly put, I pro pose to give a candid answer. 1st. As hu honest Temperance man, I can neither vote ngtinst the anti license claim, nor let it go by default by refusiug lo vote at all on that question. So nt being " conscientiously" unit " honestly " opposed ihe license system, bv which special privileges are granted to some, to do that tor which others are punished as criminals, I must vote "Licknsi to sell intoxicating Litmus, No," whether I vote for or nguiust (he adoption of the new constitution. 2J. 1 hold the proposed restriction to be of such vital importance to the best interests of the people ul Onio that although I might have voted for the constitu tion hud tins clause Ueu in Her ted iu it by the Uunvon-lion, yet fear to do to now, lest the restriction shall he dtlnited, while ihe constitution is udopied and this vitm question " Jell to the Legislature, or in other words, lo ihe caprice of political partiet tot all future lime, llio ri-tunal ot Ihe Convention to insert this clitutte which was more numerously petitioned for than nay other should bu regarded by all consistent democrats loo us fatal to the tiew constitution however faultless iu other respects. Jd. Should llio " IMo Liceune clause receive a ma jority of votenand tho constitution receive a minority, the Temperance cauoo will lose nothing, but will gain ucn. ror, hrst, aiier such a vote by the whole peu e condemning the license xystem, no Legislature in Ohio will naxs another license luw.

We have reud with much interest a lengthy and very able article in the Medina Whig, on the subject of the New Coustitulion. Two points are discussed the single district system, and ihe provisions which will ef fectually check internal improvements iu the new and unimproved portions uf the 8tate. After showing yery clearly that justice aud fair dealing, and a compliance with the sentiment of tho State, and the age required of them, the formation of single districts, the writer proceeds to discuss the second point. We wish this portion could be read by every voter in the State, and the mora especially, iu those portions of it, where works of internal improvement have not been commenced. If this class are contented thus to cut them selves off, aud voluntarily deprive themselves of the vast benefits which the older portions of the State en joy from these works, theu, we shall not complain. With them the question rests, and to them is the ap peal made. Lot every voter in the north-west, and in the eastern part' of the State, ask himself how far ho is interested in this question, and determine fully before hand, whether it is worth his while to deprive himself of tho benefits which mutt come, and that soon, if the present system of improvement, by Rail Road, Plank Road, &c, is pursued, for any advantages that cuu ac crue through any other part of the instrument. Wo trust the following closing remarks of the Whig will bn carefully read and considered : But let us turn our attention for a moment to auolh- or portion of tho State, the newly settled counties on its western borders. 1 he enterprising and Industrious laborer in Cuyahoga or Hwiiiliou bus accumulated, by dint of hard exertions and severe economy, his two or three hundred dollars. With this, his hard earned for tune, his little all. he starts with his young family, for ihe yet unbroken wilderness of Lucas county, whore with his limited means, he may purchase a farm, iusiii- red with ihe hope of enjoying Ihe products of his labor, uid of reposing, when old ae shall come upon him, beneath his own vine and tig tree. He selects as the n euo of his future labor!, hii 80 acre lot on the banks of the Tdliu river, pilches his log cabin, and then com mences tne process ul tittiue his laud lor cultivation. 'he heavy timber melts before his persevering strokes; he wood recede from his humble habitation, aud the lirst crop of corn and wheat is the reward of hi nidus- iry. But here a new difficulty presents itself. His nearest market is Maumee Cny or Toledo, some thirty or lorty miles distant, and his route lies through uuwurk-ed roads almost impassable by reason ot marshes, logs and bridgluss streams. The stnle in ihe meantime has commenced n system of internal improvement. The older counties aro the first to share the benefits of litis wise and liberal policy. The citizen of llumiltounnd Cuyahoga have nked the Legislature to loan thecn-d it of the State for the completion of works mat promise to be of vast utility to those portions of tho Ktute in particular in which they are tu bo located. I he debt is created, llio interest accruing thereon must bu paid, and our western settler is taxed lo enablo ihe State to meet the demand ol its creditor. The ui'liey must be raised for ibis purpose from the surplus product ol bis toil Hu thus drug to market, your alter year, what he can spare utter supplying the wants of bis family, and ob tains barely sufficient tu pay his tuxes and road expenses in the course of transportation. To this he submits without a murmur: enlarges gradilully tho area of his cultivated fields; fresh emigrants are arriving with like hope sand like enterprise. They finally accumulate sutliciriii capital lo unable them to bund a plunk road over which ihey may convey their wheat, oats and coru to market with greater facility, and without incurring expenses almost equal to the price of their produce. They apply to ihe Legislature, not for money, but for an act ul lncorMiraliou to enable them to accomplish, with their combined resources, what as individuals with their limited means, they could never achieve. They aro met by the honorable nnd dignified members from Hamilton with severe rebukes tor their temerity. They are denounced a " Monopolists," " Monied Aristocrats," Parasites upon the Body Politic," and are sent homo with the consoling intelligence of" a great contest at hand." The Democracy uf Old Hamilton, now lolling in the hip of luxury and wealth acquired by theback-woodsman's sinewy arm aud sweuiiug brow, through iho instrumentality of her extensive internal improvements, has resolved that no more corporations fehull be char tered; that the western pioneer idiull not possess the privilego of building for himself nnd hi neighbor a plank road over tho almost impassible sloughs lhat lie between his little farm nnd the only market tor the surplus product ul his till, because forsooth it might open 4i new channel ol commerce and atlm-i injiirioiisly tliu gigantic inouophe of " the Queen City." A war-cry against corporations is ruisrd by tho very men whose every hrealh is drawn from nu atmosphere redo i lent of corporate privileges; whose immense fortunes aid unbounded luxuries are derived from tho privileges and iiiiniuuiiies secured by special ads of incor-1 porntioh, and from tho twenty millions of dollar in-1 vested for their benefit by the Stale government through tho indulgence and liberality of their fellow citizens who now a-k in remuneration of their heueliceuce, the privilege .f ncuuirina similar benefits through their own exertions and enterprise. ouch aro iho men who nuso this "hue and cry' against corporations. Should we not exclaim with the old lrojan, " Timta Grains et ommt dona Jerentnt The peopleof Mediu county ask the privilegeol building, with their own means and exertions, a railroad hat shall connect them with the ureat thoroi avid aro terminating in C:ovelutid ; but they are met try a pra( visoii in Itie new constitution which declare lhat each individual sltickholdershall helnxtd uu thufullaiiiouut hi investment, nnd lhat the corporate property thus cumulated by ihe subscription of firriuers aim men f limited menus shall pay all ndiliiioiud tux over and Ijovo lhat paid by the several stockholders, ihus sub- lUo same properly to the burthen ot a, double taxation.

For the Ohio State Journal, To the Friends or Temperance in Ohio. Are you fully aware of the great crisis that is just before you ? Have you forgotten that the Convention for revising the constitution of our State, after having, By two distinct and solemn votes, incorporated in thut instrument a provision prohibiting the Legislature from legalizing the traffic in intoxicating drinks, at lest, by a most disgraceful piece of trickery the damning details of which are yet to be made known to tbe people struck out that clause and directed that it should be submitted for a separate voteT If I were to judge from tho apparent apathy that prevails on this vital question, I should infer that the friends of this great cause are slumbering at their posts, while the enemy is assailing the out-posts of the citadel, and ready, on the first breach, to take possession of and demolish its strong holds. Be assured, that interests and results that no man can estimate are dependent on tbe issue now submitted. If the upholders and defenders of Ihe abominable liquor license system now prevail, one loud, long yell of triumph will be heard from thegrog-gery-keepcrs aud their faithful allies and confederates, tlmt will strike terror to the hearts of those bruve ad vocates nf ihe interests of humunity, who have so long and nobly done battle against tho monster. Let mo entreat you, as you value tho success of a measure which more concerns the true interests of the people of Ohio than any ever submitted to hor freemen, to rouse yourselves from your apathy ; and when the day of trial comes, present at the polls an urroy uf influence and numbers that shall settle forever the dislurbins question of "license or no license." That a areot ma jority of the voters of Ohioregurd the license system as grossly immoral in itself, and as the frequent source of evil, there can be no doubt. The writer of this article lairns to know something of the public sentiment of Ohio on this great subject. He hasclosely observed its progress for innny years past, and has witnessed with pleasure the rapid increase of opinion against both the principle and ihe policy of upholding and sanctioning by low the pernicious trallic in liquor. He knows thut the sentiment is now deeply sealed iu the minds of iho intelligent freemen of Ohio that there is no moro excuse or vindication for grunting to any man tbe exclu sive right to deal iu intoxicating drinks, than there would be to grant, by authority of law the right to keep a gambling house, or a brothel. If Ihe license system involves, us it cleaily does, a gross sanction of immorullty attended by tho greatest conceivable evils to community, U follows, unavoidably, that all true friends of human happiness and human progress must condemn it as unworthy of this enlightened age, and all unmitigated public curse. Or, if tiiere be any wil ling to maintain the converse of this proposition, and who believe there is' nothing wrong iu legalizing ihu traffic iu on article lhat bmtilies and destroys both soul aud body, to them 1 would say: why create, by law, an odious monopoly why it rant exthmve privileges to ufw to engage in (his IradoT Suroly, if it be an honest nnd praiseworthy occupation to deal in intoxicating drinks, it should be open to ull. And, in ibis view, the lows which confer this right on some, to the exclusion of others, violate the very spirit of our republican Institutions.But I do not design to enter upon an argument in re gard to this question. It is not argument, hut action that I would now invoke. Anil I would reiterate the iden, lhat now fs the time. If, at the trinl, which is to take place iu June, the friends of the temperance reformation are not at their posii, all will be lost, and the cause for which they have so nobly struggled will receive a blow in Ohio, from which it will never recov er. The defeat of the anti-license clause will be claim-1 d as an authoritative exprension uf public opinion ! agaiust tho clause, and against tho enactment by the j Legislature of any law repealing or modifying the laws w""-" "i,u , Miicuomng tne nquor traffic In a word, it will be aotal, and a must dis astrous defeat. Before I dismiss this subject, I beg leave to notice one P",,io. " bY "' professing, and perhupatrue friends of temperance. It is, that the anti- License law of the last session of our Legislature, supersede the n y nf lli pr.poed constitutional prohibition. Not so. It was one of the great objects of those who sought to tie up the hands of tbe Legislature, by a constitutional provisiou taking from that body the (tower to pass laws sanctioning the liquor iralfic, not only to settle the question, but to avoid its agitation hereafter, except iu the form of a proposition to amend the constitution by the ubolisbment of the restrictive clause. While this subject ia left free for the action of the Legislature, it will continue to be used as tho mere hobby of polit!cal demagogues, aud ran never be viewed as finally settled. This is illus- i rated by a reference to the law of last winter; the policy of which, I mny remark, is exceedingly doubt-lul. No sooner was it passed, than it was fiercely de- nounced by the entire liquor trafficking and liquor consuming portion of ihe State; and, no doubt, this array of opposiliou to It will be powerfully, if not sue- cesslully folt at the next October election. It is a pos sible, il not a probable result, that the next Legists- ture may repeal that law. unless in the meant i mo. il.e stitution if that instrument shall he adontrd the sub j,.ct will be an open one, nnd must continue to lie the fruitful source of agitation. The wri'or has sometimes been asked, what shall bo the course of tho so opposed to the new constitution, hut in favor of the anti-License clause f I reply that while they vote against (he instrument as a whole, ihey ought clearly to cast tlieir votes in favor of the sepa rate clause. It is true if the entire instrument shall ho rejected by the people, aud there shall be a majori- iiyiuiavnrui mis ciause u win not I here it y become nnrt nf tl.H nnn.lHiilinn ..t rW.i.. n ! - . 1 . . , , ,. .

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1851, New Union Party in Georgia. We have looked upon (bo formation of a new party to be called the Uuion party as chimerical. But wo see by the Southern patters that, tn Georgia, this is going ou much more harmoniously than we supposed it could. The two old parties nppear to meet on common ground, and, merging all former dillerence of opinion, unite onacommou platform of devotion to the constitution and the Union. Tho state of feeling at the South, where disunion is openly preached and very frequently openly pructicod, may make it expe dient to take this step. It cau, however, only be tol- eruted in a great crisis, when the times require a sacrifice of political differences in ordor to preserve the fundamental law uf the land. In the North, we think all attempts to establish a Union party, with no other base than a devotion to the Union of these States, will utterly fail. In the first p'ace, there is no respectable portion, even of tho free-soil party, that it willing to admit for a moment it is opposed to the Union. Some of them may perhaps ad vocnte opmtons,.and threaten to do things that are, practically, just as much disunion as are the measures of the South Carolina fire eaters. But many of them do not know it, and huvo never looked at the mntter in tbnt light. As to the Whia and Locofoco parties. they vie with each other in proclaiming nn attachment to that glorious Union tinder which we have lived and flourished so long. No issue can bo got up ou that score. Meeting with no opposition, or a very limited one, these two great parties will remain where- they are. But suppose a onion is formed and the members of the old parties unite on one platform, nnd that platform having one plank devotion to the Union; what would become of this now party so soon ns the question of tbe protection to American lubor would come up T What would this party do when the proposition to im prove Western Rivers aud Harbors would como up? What would they say and do about tbe sub-treasury. nnd the public lauds, and a specie currency, &c &c.1 Of course (his new union p-trty would be broken asunder in an instant. It would dissolve into ita ornnnul clement. Whigs would bo Whigs again, midL'-cofo-cus would bo Locofocos. Is there uny possible way lo avoid this? We can see rone. Hence, to our mind, the idea of a separate organization on lhat one idea, in the North, is just as chimerical as tho idea of doing any good wiih a third party anti-slavery organization. A we observed before, there may be a time when all parties and all patriots should rally nu common ground ; and this may be tbe enso ill Georgia and some of tho other Souiheru States now. But it has not yet become general, and wo trust in Providence it may nut bo. Library of lliiinoroii American Works. A.

We remarked that we supposed it was customary to turn alt hands to distributing when the mails came in, but if it had been customary to deliver letters during this time, and chance had been made in the practice, it was proper to inquire whether the change was beneficial or otherwise, and that we would inquire into it. The writer then said he would take the article to the Statesman, to which we made no objection. We neversaid or indicated, except by those remarks, any thing that could be constructed into a re- tusul. It is well enough to say, however, that no change in the practice has been made, and no s round for com plaint exists. P. 8. The writer of tho above article in the States man informs us that he did not tell the Statesman that it had been refused at the Journal office. So goes that story. v-- The Cireat i:lilblfion. Royal. (WMgurown by the Queen. Prince Albert, her Ma jesty s Ministers, the foreign Ambassadors, with an at-tembtagc within the Crystal Palace oaU.OuO perwas. The uiatter of tho must interest iu the London namtra is the account of the opening of the Great London Exhibition on the 1st iust. We copy the following from the European Times of May 3d: After severul days' excitement, during which the public curiosity ha been wound up to ihe highest pitch, the morning uf Thursday, the day fixed for the openiiif of the Great Exhibition of the industry of all nation, opened most Nupiciouidy. On the preceding day we Had ram and bud, with very cold weather, but the glorious 1st o May was uninterrupted by scarcely il cloud; and at inid-d.iy, when the Queen ascended the throne, the ell'ulg. iice uf ihe suu left uu other wish un-gratified.As !ir us the mortal arrangements depended upon man, ihey were perfect, ami 1 lejoice tu say lhat the day passed oil' w itliout a insle accident ihut 1 have fe aid of. 1 found, upon reaching the Piccadilly at nine in the morning, ft hue of cainuge which reached from ihe Exhihtiiou to the eastern end ol Long Acre, a good couple ol miles ; aud the same flung existed west, tiorih and south. Find in tins to be ihu cuse, I alighted and wulked into Ihde Paik, entering the commissioner's gate without the slightest inconvenience. Tho scene upon entering was beautiful in the extreme. Already every seat was occupied, but a member of Par liament, who was an exhibitor, contrived lo make a little coterie iu the 'Tunisian department, to which I was admitted, und I saw the wlnde inauguration sceue under the happiest point ot view. The company kept pouring in until the last moment t and nt 114 o'clock 1 gazed upon the wonders of ihe grand transept, and h ard the mighty orgau from the west end, Ihe tones walling their sounds ill rough the maze of British manufactures aud nruduciiou; while at th eastern extremity you saw the Am uncut Eagle prouuiy conspicuous over me uoiu inscription which marked the region of Ihe United Stules' productions long hues ot beuutilul women, wiih officers aud gentlemen fillins up the back ground, aud in eveiy way Ihe eye was luriied, some surprising natural or artificial object was to be seen J the tout ensemble was altogether most beautiful. Punctually at lit o'clock ihe Q jeen arrived ; her entree being marked by long and animated cheering. She seated herself on a chutr raised ou a platform, surmounted by a spacious elegant blue canopy adorned with feathers, wiih Prince Albert ou In r h it. They were accompauied by ihe Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal. The court circle was now completely formed, making atabuleau never to be forgot ton. Tile Queen looked remarkably well. She wore the Order of the Garter, a pink bro de dress, shot with g dd, aud ihu Prince looked calm ly nnd proudly happy. Ihe Dukool Wellington, who this day completed his eighty second year, had been there nearly two hours before, nnd the Commissioners and all the officials aud ludies of (he household surrounding the throne piesen-ted a scene of extraordinary splendour. The National Anthem was performed, and ihe music produced a uiot delightful effect in tlie glass buildiug. Prince Albert, with the Commissioners, preseuted himself beloro the Q'leeu, und read the report as described in the official programme. 1 could not hear ihe tones of the queen when she rend her reply, from the spot where I was placed, but (he fact is, any mortal voice is lost in the vast edifice. The Archbishop of Canterbury then delivered Lho prayer of iuuugeruiinn, which was followed by the Halleluiah Chorus uf Handel, under the directum of Sir Henry R. Bishop. Tbe effect of thia was most striking, und the voice ul tbe choristers were here in the fullest perfection. A procession was then formed of a most interesting character. The State Heralds preceding, Messrs. Pax-ton, Pox and Henderson, led the way. Then came all the official engaged iu constructing the budding; afterwards ihe foietgn acting commissioners; aud most singular wm it to see all the various costumes worn by hard headed, capable men from every quartor of the wurld. Then followed the Royal Commissioners, among whom I noticed Mr. Col ale 11 dressed in a plain black coat. Then followed the venerable Duke of Wellington, walking side by side with the Marquis of Angleseu; both were loudly cheered. 1 ho foreign ambassadors, among whom Mr. Lawrence appeared to consult ruble advantage from bis age and commending apearHiice, followed, and tier Majesty 's.Ministershead-ed by Lord John Russell. These were loudly applaud ed; and lastly the yueen aud I ruice Albert, the one leading the Prince of Wales, and the other the Princess Koyal, closing the procession, w.th ihe Royal Pruuian guests at the palace, and the ladies of the household. he procession hrt marched along me uriiisn or western nave, and then, crossing ttie transept, passed ou to the eastern extremity, thn United States' end. At , every step new acclamations arose ; the music from the various organs suluted the procession us 11 passed, and ihus every person in the building was enabled lo see every iudividunl nf the cortege. The Queen then declared "the Exhibition opened;" and the irompelsaud the artillery aiiinuucrd the fact to the oounlless tnulti ludes outside. The whole auditory arose to give a part jug cheer, or series of deafening ncc'ainatiuns of joy, und the ceremony termii-ated by ihe re ireineiitof the Queen, who went back to Buckingham palace, in the state in which she had come. The multitu lea in ihe paik were countless. I looked through the gla-swindnwauda sea of human beluga surrounded me on all sides. Every body was in good humor, and all the supeistitious presentiment of mischief which had been formed in ihe imagination of some minds wero wholly falsified. Never was su great a spectacle inaugurated with so much good order and tranquility, iu the presence at perhaps half a million of human beings. a liolera.
